SNG confirms people leadership changes as Sally Hyndman retires

Sovereign Network Group (SNG) has confirmed that chief people and transformation officer, Sally Hyndman, will retire at the end of June 2026 after five years with the group. 

Alexia Evans, currently investment and asset strategy director, will take over after working alongside Hyndman from April 2026 to support the handover. 

Evans has led SNG’s approach to asset management, sustainability and sales.

Joe Marshall has also been confirmed as chief investment and development officer after holding the role on an interim basis since May 2025. 

Marshall has led the growth of the Southern region since joining SNG two years ago, focusing on regeneration projects and local partnerships. 

Before SNG, Marshall held senior roles at Peabody, managing large housing and regeneration schemes in London and the South East.

In his new post, Marshall will oversee the delivery of 25,000 new homes in the next decade and lead strategic asset management, including retrofit and regeneration work to meet SNG’s Homes and Place Standard.

Marshall said: “I’m proud to take on this role at such an important time for housing delivery. We have ambitious plans to create high-quality homes and thriving communities, and I’m looking forward to continuing the great work of our teams across investment, regeneration and development.”
